Apparently the secret to acing a hole is self deprecating humor.

Got my first ace today on the same hole where a large group let me play through. Made a joke about how since they let me play through I was gonna immediately shank it into a tree, ended up throwing the cleanest turnover I've ever thrown right into the basket. #discgolf

#3DPrinting #RobotCombat

Antix is ready to go. Barring something happening sooner it will debut at Dragon Con Robot Battles. #RobotCombat #3DPrinting #Antweight

The Inkbunny Studios (ink.ing) did an amazing job.

So happy with how this turned out. #BattleBots #RobotWars #Tattoo

YouTube video by MikeNCR Single Tooth Disc Design 101

youtu.be/wjGWWUAugD8

Made a video (with the help of @infernaltank.bsky.social) showing my process for designing balanced single tooth discs.

Decided to make some custom handles for my robot power switches. #3DPrinting #RobotCombat

More progress on Antix. The one on the left works outside of needing the rear wheels, some drive belts, and a weapon. The electronics are set up so they can be pulled from one and dropped into the other with minimal effort. #RobotCombat #Antweight #3DPrinting

BattleBots FaceOffs Episode 2 is coming soon!
MadCatter, Skorpios, Roundhouse & Calypso are in the next brawl—we’re finishing it up and dropping it soon.

It does go all the way through, the TPU covers are on both sides and have cutouts designed into the print.

Designed a 3D printed glow disc charger that runs off a USB power bank. Main body is PLA and the flaps are TPU. May reprint the TPU parts thinner but it works well. #3DPrinting #DiscGolf

Two partially assembled 1lb fighting robots.

Making progress on Antix. #RobotCombat #Antweight

A Luchador with a Leatherface gimmick would be a hell of a thing.
